“… [T]he renowned J-45 … slope shoulder guitars occupy a prominent position in American music history. This famous model has been so widely used by some folk and blues artists that few haven’t played one at some point in their careers.” — excerpt from Gibson’s Fabulous Flat-top Guitars; Eldon Whitford, David Vinopal and Dan Erlewine

The legendary J-45 clearly defines the storied legacy of Gibson acoustics. Without question, the J-45 is one of the most beloved and played acoustic guitars in the history of modern music, and the icon of Gibson’s round-should dreadnought acoustic line ever since its introduction in 1942. Today, it stands proudly as Gibson’s number one-selling acoustic, and in recognition of this distinguished rank Gibson Acoustic presents the J-45 Custom – one of the most elegant and best-sounding versions of this classic model ever produced by Gibson Acoustic’s master craftsmen in Bozeman, Mont. Combining vintage appointments with several modern features, the J-45 Custom delivers the model’s renowned tone while adding a new, refined appearance that complements its fundamental design, including a brand new floral and vine abalone pearl headstock inlay designed by Gibson master luthier Ren Ferguson. The J-45 Custom is available in the model’s original Vintage Sunburst finish and Antique Natural.
